    Default I won a new iPhone ads are back

    After several months of never seeing this annoying ad, I have seen it 4 times today. Does anyone have a solution?

    My ad blocker (Adblock Plus) stops them on my computer, but I've been having ongoing problems with pop-ups on my phone, especially one that says I've won an Amazon gift card (spam) and one that tries to tell me that my phone has a virus (it's also spam - my phone is clean). Both ads are persistent and difficult to close without clicking them. I posted about it in this section of the board a few weeks ago, but didn't get a response. In the meantime, I've stopped using my phone to access the QB because I can't risk getting a virus or malware on it.

    I am getting the Amazon ads on my phone. It doesn’t seem to happen when I’m logged in on my laptop.

    I get the ads on my phone only. So I don't access the QB on my phone. It drives me crazy because it happens to me when I access my FaceBook account on my phone more than anything else.

    There is a free ad blocker for the cell phones. I have it on my iPhone and don’t get any of those ads
